Over the weekend the spotlight shone on a character that doesn’t get nearly enough merch when I discussed the One Piece Figuarts Zero Nico Robin Dress Rosa Ver. figure. But Nico Robin isn’t the only member of the Mugiwaras Bandai is giving the Dressrosa treatment! In fact, the captain of the Straw Hats himself will be getting the Figuarts Zero treatment again this fall–that is, if you can recognize him through his clever disguise!

Nico Robin hasn’t exactly gotten a fair shake as far as the Bandai Figuarts Zero One Piece line goes. Despite being a very popular member of the Straw Hats, Nico Robin has only had one mass-released Figuarts Zero figure released to date. With the dearth of One Piece Figuarts Zero figure releases overall in 2014, I feared we might never see a mass-produced Nico Robin figure from Bandai again. Thankfully, that’s not the case, and a new Nico Robin figure is coming sooner than we expected! The One Piece Figuarts Zero Nico Robin Dress Rosa Version figure will be released in October 2014!

2014 has not been a landmark year in any sense of the word for the Bandai Figuarts Zero One Piece figures line. Bandai has skipped several months of the year altogether for the One Piece Figuarts Zero line, and we’ve yet to have a single month with more than one figure scheduled for release. At least–until now!

We’re going to have to wait a few more weeks for photos, but Bandai Japan has announced not one, not two, but three mass-released One Piece Figuarts Zero Dress Rosa figures for October 2014: Nico Robin, Gladiator Lucy and Donquixote Doflamingo!
